Greyville Race 3 - Radisson Blu Hotel, Durban Umhlanga Maiden Juvenile Plate
KUDIKARAN (2) is a two-start maiden who placed on debut then could only manage fourth last start, beaten 4.5 lengths over 1160m in the G2 The Nursery at Turffontein Standside. Has the pace and draw to take up a good early position. Looks well placed and is worth another chance. LIGHTINTHEWOODS (4) did a good job on debut last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in second over 1000m at Vaal. Open to sharp improvement and can get off the mark this time. RED HOT GUY (8) stepped out on his debut over 1000m at Scottsville four weeks ago and finished fifth, beaten 2 lengths. Better for that run and can improve sharply. SCOTS WAE HAE (1) is on debut. By Malmoos and is out of the Mike Mathew De Kock stable. Watch the market closely.

Lining up for just third start. At long odds at debut, 3rd in a small field at Turffontein Standside on March 21 over 1160m, 3 len behind Turn It Up with 57kg at $34. Second-up ran last in a small field at Turffontein Standside in the G2 The Nursery on April 4 over 1160m, 4.5 len behind Better Never Ends carrying 60kg at $13.50. Sure to go well.
